The Sun has really woken up over the past... 48 hours, producing multiple solar flares (including an “X-class” event), across 4 different regions. Further large flares are likely in the coming days!show more

131A imagery of the Sun showing the C-class solar... flaring that's been active the last ~2 days now. It's looking very likely we'll see M-flares and potentially X-flares in the days ahead.show more

The second of today’s X-class solar flares was truly... a long-duration event. Where typical flares last 10s of minutes, this event took over 6 hours. The flare also showed a fundamental part of solar flares: a ‘current sheet’. #spaceweather 1/5show more

The entire month of May 2025 in the Sun’s... atmosphere. Although the Sun produced a few large solar flares, sunspot numbers were the lowest we’ve seen since August 2022. We are likely now slowly moving towards solar minimum, but we still expect large flares throughout this decline!show more

Some regions on the Sun stay active for months...... and they may produce far more solar flares than expected. Using data from this citizen science project, researchers found these long-lived regions are 3–6× more likely to produce the Sun’s most powerful flares:show more

Here is all the solar flare activity (< 48... hours) defined by the 1.1 X-flare and 7 m-flares. Notice all the activity now from the large sunspot cluster in the southern hemisphere, it appears to have woken up once it moved into alignment with 3I/ATLAS. Interesting...show more

A series of small blowouts (across 12 hours) from... the new active region on the Sun’s western edge yesterday! This region is producing a lot of moderate solar flares, and rotating to face Earth in the coming days. #spaceweathershow more

The Sun is absolutely COOKING right now. 1 X-flare... and 10 M-flares in less than 16 hours, and this still looks like preliminary activity to stronger solar flares and big coronal mass ejections as active region 4366 has grown significantly since my last update. BOOMSHAKALAKA!!show more

This movie shows the past 24 hours in active... region AR 14366 – the area responsible for the recent strong solar flares! This wavelength shows cooler (1 million °C) plasma, revealing how dynamic the coronal magnetic field is right now. This region has many more flares to give!show more

In the last 38 hours we've had 1.7 and... 1.1 X-flares from the Sun, earthquake activity off the coast of Japan (M6.8, M6.4, M6.0) has becoming worrying and looking like foreshock activity for a BIG earthquake (M8+), and we're now in a S1 radiation storm from the 2nd X-flare. Multiple solar storm impacts are expected over the next few days. Big linear planetary alignment occurs on the 20th with the Sun, Mercury, Moon, Earth, and Uranus with Pluto and Saturn+Neptune in harmonic aspects. Yikes...show more

WOW! The new sunspots in the southern hemisphere of... the Sun rotating into view are VERY ACTIVE. That's exactly the sort of build-up in activity usually observed before BIG X-Flares. Next two weeks are likely to be very dynamic energeticallyshow more

5½ days of sunspot group 4366 We've seen 63... M-class flares, 6 X-class flares, 0 radiation storms, 5 coronal mass ejections (CMEs) - 3 of them slow. It has passed its zenith, but it is not yet at an end. The big question is: will it produce another CME?show more

#Syria: video showing an Israeli warplane flying over the... W. #Daraa countryside and dropping flares. A number of Israeli artillery strikes, across the border, are currently underway.show more

Double hit directly over the Americas with 6.7 and... 6.3 M-flares. A solar storm impact is also already in progress, through the geomagnetic activity from it has been relatively muted thus far (+Bz)...show more

🚨#BREAKING: Here are 48 hours worth of tornado warnings... spanning over the weekend, with multiple large and extremely dangerous tornadoes touching down. So far, over 118 tornadoes have been reported, resulting in 4 deaths in Oklahomashow more

NASA released some new close up footage of solar... flares and holy moly 😳 it doesn't even look real! "NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory just released stunning close-range footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a maze of blazing plasma loops and chaotic magnetic fields. The new recording shows dark filaments slicing across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and reshape in real time. To put the scale in perspective: the Sun is about 1.39 million km wide, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What looks like small sparks in the footage are actually structures larger than our entire planet. These visuals aren't just beautiful, they're a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable our nearest star truly is." - nasashow more

Up to 100 Alawites from al-Sumaria have been arrested... so far including elderly and children over the past 48 hours. Homes are marked with X and a decision from the “Public Housing Committee” gave them 72 hours to leave with only the clothes on their back.show more

The entirety of January 2025 in the Sun’s atmosphere!... January had the lowest sunspot numbers since April 2024, and very few sizeable flares. No doubt this solar cycle has much more activity to come, but have we now passed the peak of solar max? (Or will we get an another spike?)show more
